Buzzer-beater gives Grizzlies win over Heat

Rudy
Gay landed a 15-foot buzzer-beater over LeBron James to snap the
Memphis Grizzlies five-game losing streak with a 97-95 win over the
Miami Heat on Saturday.

Reserve Zach
Randolph led the Grizzlies (5-9) with 21 points and 13 rebounds, Mike
Conley had 16 points and Gay added 15 as Memphis snapped the Heat’s
three-game winning streak. “This was the most unified we’ve been,”
Grizzlies head coach Lionel Hollins said. “That’s how you win tough,
close games, everybody rooting for each other, everybody picking each
other up.” It was a tight contest throughout with the teams trading the
lead constantly in a back-and-forth second half. That’s a tough loss,”

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “We just could not find a way to get
over the hump.” James and Chris Bosh carried the Heat (8-5) in the
absence of Dwyane Wade, who did not play due to a left wrist injury.
James scored a game high 29 points and added 11 assists while Bosh
scored 20 points and had 10 rebounds. Eddie House came off the bench to
score 20 points, including six three-pointers, but there was more bad
news for the Heat when forward Udonis Haslem collided with Randolph
late in the third quarter and was carried off the court. “It’s huge,”
said James of Haslem’s injury. “He’s like our heart of our team. He’s
our power. He’s our pride. He brings everything every night. Size never
really matters to him. He always plays above his height, plays above
his weight.”
